I think the least discussed, most significant issue at hand in regards to weapon tweaks is that Bungie nerfed these weapons as opposed to having buffed pulse rifles and others because they want a particular TTK. They want destiny PvP combat to feel different from other shooters in its TTK. So if you have an issue, it should be with the fact that Bungie doesn't want to allow players to dictate TTK. As someone who has never used ARs and almost exclusively used hand cannons (some scout rifles), the primary effect of this update has been the decreased effective range of my hand cannons. In terms of PvP, I think it's easy to see how this was a good choice. The highest impact primary weapon should not have equal effective range to the second highest (scout rifles). It's more difficult, though, to understand that the same should be true in PvE. I should not find PvE content easier than another player because our choice of primary differs. I was playing the nightfall on Tuesday, and I was pretty much unable to damage the stealth vandal snipers on the catwalk from where the Wizards spawn. That is as it should be. My fireteammates with scout rifles should take care of those enemies because their weapons are designed for that encounter. With all of that said, I think it is a massively different story with ARs, particularly Suros. My impression is that, in Suros, an extremely viable PvE gun has been made impotent. No one uses it. To have completely disregarded the amount of work someone might have put into leveling that gun by nerfing it to the point of uselessness is pretty insensitive to me, particularly when another class of guns, and one in particular (red death), has received an equally problematic buff.
